The Navy has begun construction on the next two Ford-class carriers, the USS Kennedy and the USS Enterprise. The ship is the first Ford-class aircraft carrier. The carrier's construction formally began in November 2009 and it was commissioned in 2017 by former President Donald Trump, according to a US Navy release. The USS Gerald Ford is the first new aircraft carrier designed in "over 40 years," according to the US Navy. (CNN) - The US Navy's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier left on its first deployment Tuesday from Norfolk, Virginia, designed to put the ship through its paces and exercise with allies in North America and Europe. The USS Gerald Ford is the US Navy's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier.īy Ellie Kaufman and Oren Liebermann, CNN Ford (CVN 78) departs Naval Station Norfolk on October 4. Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. If there are any issues or ideas that you have please keep us informed.The Gerald R. We want this to be a community project for the greater good of all of us. We are also counting on our fellow carriers to help us with ideas to make the app even better. We also want to add other fun features like a message board and chatting system so carriers can keep up to date and also keep each other informed. This technology is very expensive and we simply couldn't afford it with the initial release. With this technology we will be able to incorporate a route guide (no more guessing where to go next), localized weather/news alerts, and distance tracking. Funds permitting, we plan to add GPS technology to make this app even more useful. Creating and maintaining an app is very costly so we hope to recoup some of the money invested. With that in mind we tried to keep the price under one hour’s wage for a CCA. We also were tired of the revolving door of CCAs and wanted to create something that would help them succeed. We developed this app because being a carrier is a hard job, with very high expectations, and we wanted to do something to help our brothers and sisters out, even if it helps just a little. ![]() Did you know the USPS employs three chauffeurs at $51,792/yr.? Really, look it up!) (This information is readily available but we decided to include it for fun anyway. As an extra we included a resource link for salary information for any and all postal employees. ![]() If you have any additional questions you can use the contact button in the app to ask a question anytime and we will answer. You will know how to do everything you were hired to do. We have taken all of the questions new carriers have had, and created a tutorial so you have no doubt as to how to do the job when you get there the first day, and a resource to refer to when you have do have a question. This includes acronyms and other postal lingo. The CCA tutorial and FAQ has answers to all the major questions new carriers might have in language that is easy to understand. App also features military time conversion, CCA tutorial and FAQ. Simply enter hours worked and the app tracks the time and calculates how much money you made in a biweekly period (including time and a half and double time). App also features timecard to keep track of hours worked to keep management honest. Just enter the start/end time and let the app do the work for you. All it takes is a simple glance at your phone and you have all the information you need (also have the option of using an audible alarm). The app has a countdown timer so you know when to speed up, and when to slow down it makes hitting the MSP scans on time easy and accurate every single time - no thinking involved. No more routes getting cut short from carriers finishing too early, and no more hearing it from the boss when you arrive too late. From leaving the office to returning you will not have any doubt about where you'll need to be, when you'll need to be there, and how long you will have to get there. Simply enter your start/end time for a specific route and the app tells you exactly when you need to be at your MSP scan, and where it is. The main feature of the app is the MSP tracker/timer. It is jam-packed with many useful features. The mail carrier app is an essential tool for CCAs and regular carriers alike. ![]() Created by mail carriers, for mail carriers. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Practica musica text book![]() The letter keyboard itself acts like a little "piano" (the middle row representing the natural keys) and you can use any of several keyboard displays: a normal piano, an "enharmonic" piano that specifies distinctions between sharps and flats, and even a guitar fretboard.

Due to bad legal advice, he was unable to claim the loss on his taxes, and it took him many years to pay the debt. ![]() He personally lost an estimated $320,000 (equivalent to $4,450,000 in 2021) on the production. ![]() "It was a spellbinding night, with Welles talking everyone-audience included-through their parts." : 270–271Īlthough audiences reportedly loved Around the World, its precarious finances-and the theatre's inadequate air conditioning-could not sustain it through the summer, and Welles was forced to close it. "The audience felt blessed," wrote biographer David Thomson. Welles performed various roles through the play's run, and once was required to play the lead: : 62 On the last night of the Boston run, when Arthur Margetson lost his voice, Welles read the part of Fogg and an understudy sang the songs. Technical problems were largely resolved before the New York opening. "Motion picture footage was shot and integrated into the play to heighten its mad, vaudevillian qualities." : 61 "Some of the more spectacular scenes included a giant eagle snatching an actor from the stage, an authentic Japanese circus troupe, a live elephant, a train crossing the rocky mountains, and a troop of Marines", wrote Welles scholar Bret Wood. There were 38 sets, which Welles asked to be designed in the style of the films of Georges Méliès. It was produced and directed by Welles with circus sequences created by Barbette, choreography by Nelson Barclift, costumes by Alvin Colt, set design by Robert Davison, and lighting by Peggy Clark. It premiered on Broadway at the Adelphi Theatre on May 31, 1946, and closed on Augafter 75 performances.

Phileas Fogg bets that he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days, and sets out on the journey with his assistant, "Pat" Passepartout. However, with no story and unclear relationships between the characters, the show closed quickly, with Welles losing his savings, and the investors losing "large sums". Playwright John van Druten described the musical as "enormous fun" and Joshua Logan said it was "fresh, witty, magical, exciting". ![]() The result was the 1947 film The Lady from Shanghai. He also borrowed from Columbia Pictures president Harry Cohn, on a promise to write, produce, direct and star in a film for Cohn for no fee. When Mike Todd pulled out, Welles put up his own money. The show had a cast of 70 and included four mechanical elephants and 54 stage hands. Also, according to critical Welles biographer Charles Higham, "Porter wrote the songs far too quickly and badly". However, he had no money left for a star cast and used performers who were not well known. He raised money from Mike Todd, producer William Goetz, and Alexander Korda, who held the title's European rights. He visualized an entire circus on stage, a train running through the West, and other extravagant production ideas. After he finished shooting his 1946 film The Stranger, Welles decided to make a musical out of one of his favorite childhood books, Around the World in Eighty Days. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you don’t see a green check mark, just click the Download button(s).
